“A nanny writes home” … in these short letters to her sister, Nina Stibbe lets us see the hilarity of her time caring for two boys in a posh section of London. From the before times when phones were sometimes inaccessible and letters were the way to stay in touch, the best bits are the snippets of conversations around the kitchen table.

Laughed out loud many times. Delightful. A wee like 84 Charing Cross Road and well worth a read.
